I leave it to you to set an appropriate target milestone., William.
Comment 3 thorsten.ziehm 2005-01-04 11:08:32 UTC 
Nothing has changed at this issue since months, therefore I change the target to
'OOo later'. If it is possible to get fixes until OOo 2.0, you can retarget this
issue. thx
Comment 4 fridrich.strba 2005-03-10 15:00:08 UTC 
Fixed in cws_src680_libwpdupgrade
Comment 5 fridrich.strba 2005-03-10 15:12:20 UTC 
Just FYI: The leading left tab is as for now converted as first line indent.
This is given to an ambiguity in the sense of this tab whether it is inside a
style definition (i.e. list bullet + tab) or in the plain beginning of a line.
From the layout point of view, the indent and tab produce the same result. The
tabs will be under more refactoring during libwpd-0.8.x release cycle.

Comment 8 fridrich.strba 2005-03-10 20:46:36 UTC 
See my previous comments: I would consider it fixed, but decide yourself.
Comment 9 thorsten.ziehm 2005-03-11 08:35:13 UTC 
When the tasks should be fixed, then it should be in the correct state. I change
this task to 'resolved/fixed'.
Comment 10 stefan.baltzer 2005-08-16 09:32:35 UTC 
SBA: I agree with the "layout point of view". The leading tabs are gone, but the
respective indent looks good. Looks good in OOo 1.9.123.
Comment 11 fridrich.strba 2005-08-16 10:29:21 UTC 
fridrich_strba->sba: thanks for your agreement :-) I have been rewriting the
internals of libwpd in order to import the layout more faithfully, and I
realized that there is actually no way to know whether a left tab should start a
paragraph or not. In the WordPerfect document stream, a left tab followed by a
left indent is fuctionally equvalent to two consecutive left indents. It is
maybe the reason why MS Office is converting left tabs by first page indents
systematically if they are at the beginning of the paragraph.

SBA->Fridrich: Thanks for the insight :-)
Closing this one now.
